Default Washer bottle mounting/heat shielding

Hi all,

Just curious what people have done with their washer bottle placement or some sort of heat shielding. The washer bottle is currently mounted on the front of the passenger side foot well. The problem is below this runs the exhaust to the side pipes. The washer bottle is a plastic universal job and what do know the plastic retainer for the washer motor has melted funnily enough. So the motor was just floating basically being held in place by the tube and wiring. The motor has also started leaking basically the heat has killed I think.

So I was wondering were people have mounted their washer bottles or what they have done about some heat shielding. My initial thoughts were to just fold up some ally plate as a heat shield to go below and up the sides of the bottle. I figured this should work.

Interested to know people thoughts and ideas i think the heat shielding is the easiest option but moving the bottle maybe a better long term solution.
